From The Manufacturer

INSTANT DRINKABILITY. The traditional popular insulated vacuum double-wall mugs keep your coffee hot. Really hot. In fact, they keep your coffee so hot you have to wait for them to cool down. Who wants to wait? BURNOUT was developed by a group of aerospace industry thermal engineers who were tired of waiting. BURNOUT cools your coffee in minutes and helps you enjoy coffee immediately. IDEAL DRINKING TEMPERATURE FOR HOURS. BURNOUT brings your coffee to a drinkable temperature within minutes, but best of all—it can retain both the ideal temperature and fresh taste for hours! LIFE-TIME WARRANTY. Burnout is MADE IN USA of U.S. & imported parts and uniquely serialized to ensure its lifetime warranty. Love your coffee – get the BURNOUT! 18/8 stainless steel and dishwasher safe. NO MORE “LIP” DANCING. Using the science behind our special synthetic thermal beeswax called Heatzorb, you can customize BURNOUT to the ideal temperature. This totally prevents the scalding temperatures that made traditional mugs a possible health risk. NO BATTERIES needed. BURNOUT’s Drink Now Technology quickly absorbs and stores the extra heat from the coffee, allowing you to drink your coffee almost immediately. The stored thermal energy is then used to keep your coffee at that optimal drinking temperature for hours! No reheating is needed.

Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

The best thing about the nonelectric Burnout mug is that it cools your drink down from boiling to a drinkable temperature faster than your standard stainless-steel tumbler — and keeps it there longer. While you can’t set a specific temperature, there’s no need to worry about keeping it charged. Plus, it’s the cheapest option.
Easy to clean. Looks nicer than other travel mugs we looked at. No wires, no battery, no heating coasters. Yep, this travel mug is environmentally friendly (uses no external energy). Works like a heat pump: pulls heat from the beverage and stores it to keep it warm. No need to wait until beverage cools down to drink.
Burnout smart mug’s claim to fame is the “instant drinkability” feature, which cools liquid down to the ideal temperature in minutes. Say so long to that burnt tongue that ruins your ability to taste anything for the rest of the day because you tried to sip your coffee too early. Another fun feature to this mug is the high-tech/low-tech battery-free operation. Instead, Burnout uses the thermal energy sucked from the beverage’s heat to power itself.
Three stainless-steel walls. Uses HeatZorb technology. Comes in 12 and 16 oz options. Two colors to choose from. Easy to handwash. The coffee temperature stays warm without plugging in or charging the cup.

What reviewers didn't like

Lid can leak. We didn’t have a problem with this, but we see reports that others complained about leaks. Heavy. Pricey. Holds only 12 ounces of beverage.
Cannot set temperature. No LCD screen. No LED indicator light. Has no battery life.
